Hi , You will have to use some javascript functions. Give your mainPage in a javascriptwindow variable mainVar, tehn in your window closing function of your child window, open the servlet which creates the main window in the mainVar. So effectively since the main window already exists, the servlet will update the contents of that frame with the new values.
